RE: Is there a "alternative" way of doing kvm-over-IP

I'd second the notion on the PC Weasel. I know the guy who designed them (hpeyerl), and they were designed from the start to be indistinguishable to the OS from textmode VGA cards and PS2 keyboards. The redraw algorithm is smart, along the lines of "screen" -- some serial BIOS support I've seen is far too full-screen-redraw happy (<cough>Dell<choke>).

Thirded, Herb did a stunning job on these.
